    Front bumper help!!!

    Ok guys. I'm having trouble solving my problem. My current problem is how to feed air to my intercooler. Most of it is blocked by the upper part of my bumper. As you can see here the fmic gets "some" air.



    But i have so much more intercooler then what's showing. And I need it to be used.



    So I wanted to get opinions on how to get this thing to be most efficient while still keeping clean body lines. It's a street car but I want it to be an efficient one. Not hacked up for track only.

    So I made this highly un-exact drawing of some holes i could cut in the bumper.



    But I was thinking of it being a templet like the golden eagles diffusers ect.

    What are your opinions and/or what could you do for me to get what I'm lookin for? Does anyone know a brothers uncles step dad that owns a machine shop and could make this or would holes just look better?

    Opinions and recommendations wanted an needed. THANKS

    Idk if there's anyway to make it look clean, how about removing the license plate or moving it somewhere else? Maybe also try n use something to direct all of the in coming air toward the ic.

    I will definitely be moving the license plate elsewhere or just off completely. The cars rarely running so that shouldn't be an issue with law enforcement.

    I'm not too keen on the circles but more like ovals. I would love to use these just not sure how it'd look. (the two smaller ones)


    But monjarassi, that's to the effect of what I'd like to do, yes.

    I love the way you made yours. Too bad the Rsx front end is pointed vs semi flat or a slight curve.

    We'll see man. I'm in the talks with golden eagle right now about doing a custom one. But I may make something before hand. I honestly just don't know lol

    I would do this... cut out the bottom of the top and somehow build more of a tunnel inside the bumper so the air doesn't go around the intercooler... hard to explain and I'm at work...
    Available now are SPAZ APPROVED decals!!! Available in multiple colors!

    Look at the bishimoto 1000hp civic front end. That is how I cut mine.
